LONDON : TUESDAY EVENING. NOVEMBER 27, 1838. The great interest which the pretUt state of the Navy excites amongst n ava l men in the country gene rally, is strikingly provers by the letters which we pub lish to-day from twe, well-known, brave, and intelligent officers. Nor can the subject be otherwise than fraught with deep interest to the public, if their statements be founded, as they obviously are, on truth. Political writers of all parties have for some time past been ex citing in the country a spirit of hostility towards Russia, and all the while, according to the statement of Captain NAPIER, the best interests of the country have been exposed unprotected to her mercy. The best testimony we have ever seen to her not loving mischief, whatever may be her ambition, is afforded by the fact, that she made no attempt during the last summer to destroy our fleets and burn London. At present, the early commence ment of winter has locked up her ports, and we have time, if we employ it properly, to set her at defiance at the commencement of spring. But there must be no delay, or we must either submit to her dictation or dread the destruction of our fleets, arsenals, and cities. Captain NAPIER'S and Captain ST. CLAIR'S letters leave us on this point nothing further to say. On the difficulty of procuring seamen for our ships, which both these officers regard as the great impedi ment to speedily manning a fleet—for we have ari abundance of hulls, and a multitude of steamers might probably in a short space be converted into useful vessels of war—we must say a few words. The celebrated lines of COWPER, in which he pointed out, in the then condition of Spain; a . i,Ust retribution for her savage cruelties and rapacious oppressions in America, are in spirit more applirralile to the present want of men for our fleet, :Ilan they were ever to the condition of Spain. T i ne nation is justly and pro perly punished by that want, and would meet only its deserts if shores were ravaged, and its merchant ships swept from the ocean for its long-continued, most abominable, and cruel injustice towards the seamen. However, that wrong is past, and cannot be recalled, nor can its effects be done away with by any exertions now made by the virtuous Peers, Bishops, and Commoners, by whose unrighteous orders that grievous wrong was inflicted. They are powerful to do mischief, but they are impotent to obviate the consequences of their legislative crimes. The 044:1M, nf hAs an:_rvt • having been for a long series of years, to scare our population from entering the navy, the nation must now do what it can by considerable bounties, high wages, and other advantages as recommended by Cap tain NAPIER, to make the naval service acceptable to the people. Above all, it must remove from it by a public legislative denunciation of the above-named crime, the stigma which now attaches to it, and en deavour to make it honourable as well as advantageous to be a common sailor. Our ships must never again be considered as gaols ; felons must not be sent to them as a punishment ; and soldiers must not watch over the sailors as if they were not to be trusted. The Ma rines are an old and an honourable corps, but the want of the country is ;sailors, not soldiers, and as long as the Marines are kept and embirked to be the avowed guards of the officers, and sentinels over the sailors, our ships will have the character of gaols, and no money will make the naval service acceptable to the people. Brutal coercion has been tried, and failed --the opposite system, thoroughly carried out, mus now be begun. Th e interest taken in tile most important question of the reduction of postage, is extending amongst all classes, and the more it is dwelt upon, the more ex tensive are the benefits which are brought to view. It seems to have been inquired into by the Committee with a fulness and zeal which its importance demanded. It is well known that, in the outset of its labours, the plan of Mr. HILL, or rather, we should not say the plan, for that was always considered simple and prac ticable, but his calculation that the conveyance of a letter from any one post town in Great Britain and Ireland to 'any other post town, did not cost more than 1-36th of a penny, it was expected would not be borne out. But the Committee were determined that the subject should be fully examined, One of their first steps, it appears from their Report, was to send to the Post-office for a list of the officers best qualified to give them information upon the subject ; and it is a remarkable fact that the wit ness whose name stood first on the list sent by the Post -office for examination, demonstrated that a gene ration had passed away since the last improvements, without in any way enlarging their views. The revenue had stood still, notwithstanding the increase of population, of commerce, of knowledge, of literature, and of science; but it would seem that the intellects of the Pcst-office officials had been as stationary as the revenue. It will hardly be believed that the only reason the prime witness from the Post-office could urge against Mr. HILL'S plan was, that dunning letters are therelly rendered more effective I and that, considering the question as one of revenue, it was not wise to make " too great" a reduction. We are persuaded that our readers would hardly believe that this is a fair statement of the man's evi dence, if it were not give.' to them literally. w e therefore give them the extract : From the experience which your long service in the Post.. office has given to you, will you inform the Committee what is you opinion, in general terms, of Mr. Hill's plan, and how it would be received by the public ?—I conceive that any reduction of postage would be well received by the public, but I think that it is unwise to make too great a reduction. Will you state why you think so ?—From the extreme low rate at which he fixes the prices of postage. Is it on account of the revenue you form that opinion ?—Of course I must hold that opinion; as long as the establishment to which I belong is made a branch-of revenue, I must al ways look to the revenue. Is it with a view to the revenue you think Mr. Hill's pro posed reduction is too large?—Decidedly. There are other component and essential parts of Mr. Hill's plan which you have not adverted to, the reduction of postage being the only one to which you have spoken ; will you be kind enough to state what your views are regarding the other parts of his plan—one being, payment of the postage in advance?—l conceive the payment in advance would be ob lected to by many persons; I will mention one description of etters upon wbith I think the payment ii advance would be objected to, namely, letters applying for the payment of debts; the creditor writes to the debtor, and very often his having been obliged to pay the postage produces the payment of the debt, lest he should have another dunning letter ; but in case of the payment in acivaz:ce being compulsory, the writer would have to add that additioual charge (that is to say, one penny) to his former debt, without being able to recover it of the debtor ; and those letters are very numerous in London alone. Have you any other objections to state to the payment in advance ?—No, I think not.—( Questions 946-51.) Thus, the first witnr_sB from the Post office, says the pam phlet already quoted, imparts the important truism, that it is unwise to make "too great" a reduction ; and that he has no other objection to payment in advance, than that heavy post age very often makes du,lning letters effective ! Upon this Mr. SEIURST retnarks An official, particularly if he happens to be an aged official, is a creature of Labit ; if he is one whose duties con fine him pretty closely to his office, that office becomes the world to him, and to propose to enlarge its boundaries shocks him like an cal thqu,ike. If too, he enjoys his place under an establishment whiCh is a monopoly, his Lotion is, that the business of the " bar barians" without shou!d be cut down to the measure of his office within. We believe there are many who have witnessed the influence of routine upon Government officials who will concur with him. When Lord Low ER, who was also a member of the Postage Committee, was labouring years since to procure for the mercantile world permission to send Prices Current throwzii the Post-office at a cheap rate, he seems to have ►net with the same contraction of mind and unwillingness to go a-head. We quote from the fifth Report of the Commissioners of Post-office Inquiry, page3s, the examination of another official:— You have been a considerable time i❑ the Post-office?-1 am in my fortieth year. Supposing it were thouglit advisable to circulate Prices Current through the Past-oftice, subject to a small stamp-duty, or at three-halfpence or two-pence postage, what do you think would be the effect of that ?--I can only say, that, as regards the duty, we are so pressed for time, that any considerable ad- dition in any way would ainost impede our operations. We work against time, and everything is fitted in such a way as to bring the letters to the Post-office at the last possible moment. Generally, the public has the extreme possible time, and it is difficult, on Saturdays and Mondays, at present to despatch the mails by eight o'clock; therefore we certainly look with some degree of anxiety at any increase of duty thrown upon the department. What would any tradesman do if pressed by an increase of business—say Me , i.trs. fle , ne, or Chaplin, or Pickford, Deacon, or any of the great public carriers? Would they say to their their customers, '• Du not increase our business," or would they enlarge their waresouses and increase their force ? Would they fear an kcreas.2 of business or a falling off of cus tom ? The answer is ob%ious. They would increase their power in proportion to their business; but the anxieties of the Post-office official' are reversed; he fears he shall have too much business, and he urges that the business should be cut down to the standard of his department. As Mr. A s H UHST observes— " To enlarge the circle of his routine, confounds his notion of the unalterable fitness of things." It is amusing to olmerve the uniformity of the effect of a bad system upon the intellects of men of different generations. W hen the late Mr. PALMER was urging thz present system of Mail Coaches, the Post-office officials, as practical (?) men, were then called to give their evidence, and one of them said of Mr. PALMER'S great improvement— It is not probable that any set of gentlemen, merchants, or outriders, can instruct officers brought up in the business of the Post-office ; and it is particularly to be hoped, if nut pre sumed, that the survey o:s need no such information. Unfortunately for the class who rest upon assumptions and presumptions, facts and figures are fast spunging them out. In matters of business men w ill walk by sight, and not by faith. The system the officers of the Post-office have bad to admi nister has been imperative upon them. The Legislature im posed the heavy rates w hich they have been made the instru ments of collecting. The same necessity and the same influ fluences would have produced the same effects and the same course of reasoning upon other men ; but it is right that the reasons should be examined though the men be blameless ; and the highest interests of society demand the adoption of this most important change. Mr. ASHURST observes— Commerce has enlarged—population has increased—educa tion has spread; but the Post-office, into which the great stream of their combined results would have poured, had Go vernment opened its channels to the quiet but mighty current, has been stationary. nf Av4vnniv a tions with the labouring classes—who was examined before the Committee, observed to me, and I have no doubt the same idea will be found in his evidence when published, that the people—by which be meant the masses, the operatives and labouring classes—the people have not been dissatisfied with the Government, in r•. lation to the Post-office, because they have not known that the carriage of a letter, from one part of Great Britain and Ireland to another, costs only the fraction of a farthing—wheil comes to be known, they will no longer be satisfied that they, and their families and relations, shall be shut out from the luxury of communicating with each other, when they are driven by duty and necessity to separate, that they may support themselves. In our columns of to-day will be found the sub stance of two speeches on the Foreign policy of Great Britain, delivered at sundry meetings of the merchants of Newcastle, by Mr. DAVID URQUHART, whose unremitting exertions to enlist the public opinion of England against the aggressive policy of Russia have obtained for him a degree of celebrity equally creditable to his talents and his pate iotism. The Foreign policy of England is all-important at the present moment, and with that portion of it which bears directly upon our relations with the East, few men are better ac quainted than Mr. URQUHART. There is another in troductory point to which we have pleasure in adverting. In declining to appear before his countrymen, clothed in the livery, or standing forth as the repre- sentative of the exclusive opinions of any party, Mr. URQUHART offers a guarantee for the sincerity of his convictions, which we freely accept. Nor is such a guarantee altogether unnecessary, when it is recollected that circumstances connected with Mr. URQUHART'S recall from the Secretaryship of the British Embassy at the Porte, and the subsequent disclosures made at his instance by Lord LYNDHURST in the House of Lords, inclined many of his former supporters on the question of Russian policy to believe that in a fit of spleen, brought on by the disappoint ment of his ambitious projects, he had thrown him self, body and soul, into the clutches of the Tory faction. Such, however, he assures us, is not the case ; and his speeches at Newcastle are so far im partial that they attack without distinction the Foreign policy of every British Administration for the last fifty years —not even excepting those presided over by CAN NING and WELLINGTON. But while we admit the great utility of Mr. URQUHART'S labours in the way of rousing the public spirit of the British mercantile body to the importance of attending more closely to the study of our Foreign relations, we beg to warn 'our readers against being carried away with the idea that we reciprocate one-half the opinions which he has thought proper to advance. Mr. URQUHART is unquestionably well acquainted with our oriental policy ; but it is equally indisputable that he is an alarmist on points where it would be inexcusable to tax the Government with the shadow of a neglec of British interests. To prove that our trade is on the decline, and that of all other countries increasing, he takes the Parliamentary returns for a number of years, when it is notorious that no manufactures could he carried on in any part of the Continent, in consequence of the wars of NAPOLEON, and without calculating the effect of war prices, he arrives at the conclusion that British commerce has actually declined within the last thirty years ! If three bales of cotto n goods will not now sell for the price of one twenty years ago, is it not rather unfair to argue that the cotton trade has declined, be cause the Parliamentary returns show a trifling deficit i n the gross amount of cash received for the sale of cottons ? Had Mr. URQUHART made the quantity, instead of the price of British manufactures, the basis of his calculation, he would have discovered that our trade has increased in a ratio far exceeding that of the increase in our population. But in all that Mr. URQUHART has advanced relative to the • necessity of increasing our naval strength, we entirely concur. The true measure of our power at sea should be ever that of the combined naval strength of THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, NOVEM BER 27, 1838 of all other nations. Our fleet should never be less than that of the combined fleets of all the maritime States in Europe ; and to the extent that we are inferior to them all put together, have we a right to complain of the gross mismanagement of our Foreign policy. The Paris Journals of Sunday have all been re ceived, together with advices from Madrid of the 15th, 16th, and 17th inst. The debates in the Cortes, on the Address in answer to the Royal Speech, entirely occupy the columns of the Madrid Journals. We shall give the substance of them to-morrow. Ex tracts from the Paris Papers will be found in another column. EGYPTIAN HALL-WATERLOO MODEL. We were favoured yesterday with a view of the Waters 100 Model—as it is called—which is now in the course of exhibition at the Egyptian Hall. This Model represents the whole plain of Waterloo, which lies stretched out before the spectator like a map, and shows the exact position which the French and English armies held at half cwst seven o'clock on the evening of the 18th of June, the period which the sketch illustrates. In one part of the field we see the famous guard of Napoleon flying befor e the British troops, and involved in all the disorder of an overwhelming defeat ; while, in another part, the Prussian detachments are coining up, headed by Bulow, for the purpose of putting the finishing stroke to a victory already more than half won. The minuteness with which the several manoeuvrings of the opposing armies are de tailed is truly extraordinary ; nor less so the aspect of the field, which, so far as we could perceive, is formed of a sort of plaster of Paris, and represents the woods, the firm houses, and, more particularly, the waving corn-fields, w.th the utmost fidelity, in all their real colours. In the centre we see the high-road leading to Brussels, awl near i: the farm of Hou4oumont, so often ms,:ntiened in all accounts of the battle. The figures are each about an inch in height, and are looked at through glass-s, which are fixed upon the rails that enclose the model. Altogether the exhibition is an exceedingly curious one, and well worth a visit ; and some veterans of the gallant Forty-second, who wear their Waterloo medals, and are in attendance to explain the details, arc not the least interesting part of the exhibition. father had not a lady with him when he spoke to them, and witness had never seen him before. A lady joined him after he left them and had crossed the street. They went down Grafton-stteet, the same as witness and plaintiff went, but they did not follow him intentionally, and were not within twenty yards of them. They did not again see him till they were in Howland -street, and then, not until he came across with a policeman. The lady was still with him. Plaintiff never was near them, and was quite sure that she never looked under the lady's bonnet. Re-examined--All the time witness was on a visit to plain tiff. she slept with her, and she knew that she had an annuity from a gentleman with whom she had lived. Mr. Flowers. —The plaintiff had lived with her for two years. On the night in question she was called out of bed, and bailed her from the station- house. Cross-examined.—Witness knew how plaintiff had been living in Cleveland-street. A gentleman named Waller came with her and took her lodgings ; and for near a year witness did not know but they were m , rriod. She now knew it was not so, but the gentleman allowed her sufficient to live upon, and she still lived in witness's house. The police-sergeant who took the charge said the plaintiff was in custody about tw ) hours. In h;s eross•examination he said the defendant said, before al.- charge was booked, that he cl:d not want to lock her up, and if she would not annoy him are might go ; and after the charge was booked he wanted to let her go, but as he was not a housekeeper his bail could not be taken. Mr. PLATT addressed the Jury for the defence. Had they been fairly dealt with; who was the witness who conld have given them a fair and impartial statement of the facts of the case ? Why had they not called the policeman who took the plaintiff into custody. The reason was, that he would have cleared up all that had been carefully concealed from them of this transaction They hid only got a slight glimmering of it, but from even what was before them th , y could easily see how the case stood. They might fincy to themselves how any of them would like if they were walking with a respectahle lady on their arm, to be dodged about from street to street by two females, who , poeared to be of a certain class, and calling out their names It was evident that such was the state of facts in this case, and therefore, though his cli nt was not justified in law in restraining the plaintiff's liberty for such an no.ance, the Jury would think a farthing would be sufficient compensation for an imprisonment which had been entirely brought upon her by her own conduct. The LEARNED JUDGE summed up, and the Jury, after a f'ew minutes' consultation, retu-ned a verdict for the plaiotiff— Damages 101. CoMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.) LASKEY V. BULL. This was an action for malicious arrest, on a charge of felony. Sergeant BOMPAS stated the case for the plaintiff, Mr. Laskey, who he said was a cabinet maker, and bad occupied a ho se in Judd-street, which was very much out of repair, and wh ch he went to some expense to improve. Some complaints had been made of his putting articles out for sale on the pave me:A, he removed to Hadlow-street, close by, setting up a board at the house in Judd-street, informing the public where he had removed. On his removal he took with him disk rs materials for building, which he had bought for the purposes of the repairs. Soon after defendant went to plain tiffs new residence in Hadlow-street, and charged him with felony. Defendant first fixed on a piece of board as having been stolen, but immediately gave it up " However," said defendant, " I make a general charge of felony ;" and on that charge plaintiff was taken into custody, and dragged to the station-hou , e. The Magistrates at Hatton-garden immediately dismissed the case. The defendant pleaded that plaintiff had tenanted a house, which he had deserted, leaving put of the rent unpaid, and had taken away some gates and other pro perty from the house. Mr. Sergeant TALFOVRD appeared for the defendant. Willi tins, a police officer, proved the charge of felony, the arrest, and the discharge. After an able address from Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD, the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff--Damages 101. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) His Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR sat at Lincoln', Inn and took motions to. day. VIGERS V. LORD AVDLEY. This case came before the Court upon motion to discharge an order made in August last, by which a Commission for a sequestration against the noble defendant was directed to issue, in consequence of his Lordship not having answered the different bills filed against him and his father, the late Lord. The original bill was filed by the plaintiff as Chairman, in the name and on the behalf of a Joint Stock Company, formed for the purpose of working mines belonging to the late Lord Audley, for the specific performance of the contracts entered into with them. The late Lord Audley died before he answered that bill, and the present Peer was made a party by supplemental bill. In consequence of the change of parties, the filing of other bills became ne cessary, all of which the plaintiffs called upon the de!endant to answer, which he declined doing, on the ground that he had not been furnished with the office copy of some of the bills, which the plaintiff declined to give him. In consequence of the refusal of Lord Audley to answer, application, was made to the Court for a sequestration. which was granted, and the discharge of that order was the object of the present application. Mr. JACOB and Mr. TOLLER, supported the application. Mr. KNIGHT BRUCE, Mr. WAKEFIELD, and Mr. ROGERS, opposed it. The case was proceeding when our reporter left. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) The Court sat this morning in Banco, for the first time under the new Act, the Nisi Prius sittings having been for mally adjoutned till Monday next. PARK V. TAPLET, CLERK. Sir WM. FOLLETT said this was an action to recover a penalty of 100/., brought against the defendant, who was Vicar of the living of Crewe, in Northamptonshire, for having acted as a justice of the peace without being duly qualified. It appeared that the defendant held the living of Crewe, which was valued at 500/. per annum, and that a writ of fc. fa. had been issued, to which the Sheriff had returned that the defendant had no goods or chattels in his bailiwick, and he further certified that the said defendant was Vicar of the living of Crewe, in said county. On production of an examined copy of the Sheriff's return relative to the writ of fire facia*, a writ of sequestrari facies was issued out of the Court of King's Bench on the Bth of April, 1834, directed to the Bishop of Peterbirough, marked for the sum of 2,2761., and on the 18th April posses sion was taken under the sequestration. It appeared further, that another party had taken possession under a previous writ of sequestration, and that a sum of 1201. per annum was al lowed the defendant out of the rents and profits of the living by the Bishop to provide " for the service of the church," and that at the time the action was brought, no portion of the rents or profits of the living had been received under the last sequestration. The important question which their Lordships had to decide was, whether or not sequestration having issued against the living, which was supposed to constitute the quali. fication of the defendant, and the sequestrator having entered on possession, and it having been made public, that living was any longer a qualification to the defendant, entitling him to act as a Justice of the Peace. That would depend in a great mea sure upon the words of the Statute, the 18th Geo. 2d, Chap. 20. The first section, after reciting " that it was of the ut most consequence to provide against persons of mean estate acting as Justices of the Peace, and the law not being suffi cient for such purposes, it be enacted, that from after the 25th March, 1746, no person shall be capable of being a Justice of the Peace, or acting as such in any county, riding, or division of England or Wales, who shall not have eiiher in law Of equity for his own use and benefit, a freehold, copyhold, or customary estate, for life, or for some long term of years, in lands, tenements, or hereditaments, lying and being in England or Wales, of the clear yearly value of one hundred pounds over and above what would satisfy and discharge all incumbrances affecting the same, and over and above all debts and charges arising or payable out of the same." That was the part of the statute which referred to the de fendant's case. He would now call the attention of the Court to the effect of a sequestration. The writ of sequestra tion entitled the party taking possession to all the rents, tithes, and profits arising out of the living, until the debt was satis fied ; and he would a s k, h ow cou ld it b e con t e nded that under such circumstances the defendant had any interest in the living, or was entitled to :any of the rents, tithes, or profits arising therefrom ? After sequestration the defendant was 413 far out of possession that he could not bring an action of ejectment upon whom he had served notice to quit. The Learned Counsel Cited the cases of Doe Dem. Morgan v. Pluck, 3d Campbell, 447; and Atterley v. Kelly, 6, vol. Barnevvall and Creswell, 630, in support of this point. With respect to the fact of the Bishop' having appointed him stipendiary curate at a salary of 1201. a-year, be contended c th le a rg tt y h m e a d n efendant could not be said to h o ld it in right of any freeh o ld tenure o f the land, b ecause it was held by t h e Bi s h o p' s license, which m i g ht b e revo k e d at any t i me , a nd another appointed. Under all the circumstances, he sub mitted that at the time the defendant was acting as a Justice of the Peace, he was not duly qualified. L. was contended on the other side that the defendant bad never lost his interest in the living, and that the Bishop had not the power to remove him, and appoint another person. The sequestration could no more be considered a deprivation p o fr Aftervi interest t t e h r e e a s l t av , en t rd h yl a o n lredn th ogf e th p hei u ns t e t td aer i i n tl g . of bailiffs into a house could de gument, the Court took time to consider its decision. EXCHEQUER COURT_(THIS DAY.) brought for the ( Sittings at Nisi Prius, beforethe Lord Chief Baron and a L s r t . a — ted wa t tL a E t a thi v s a r e a ti rs o N ti v: a A s Tß Middlesex Common Jury.) Mr. THE A Z A a v purpose of recovering compensation in damages for an alleged assault and false imprisonment inflicted upon the defendant, a young woman, under aggravated circumstances. The Learned Gentleman then detailed the circumstances of the case as they appear in the evidence following. He said his client - was not altogether to be defended on the score of morality ; she had unfortunately made a slip in early life, but he would p rove that there was not the slightest foundation for imputing tiara course of life to her which would appear upon the police sheet at the instigation of the defendant. He trusted the Jun would show by their verdict that even the liberty of the unfor tunate could not be played with with impunity. Elizabeth Challingham, examined by Mr. M ARTIN. _ She resided at Ply mouth : said she knew the plaintiff In June last witness came to visit her at Cleveland -street, Fitz roy-square. On the 10th of July they were in Cleveland street, where there was a procession of children. They stood to look at them, when the defendant came up and said, this is in commemoration of the Queen?" suppose Plaintiff said, " Indeed, Mr. Pennyfather I" Nothing further pa'sed, and they separated. Witness and plaintiff went down Grafton street and again met the defendant in Howland street, when he and a policeman crossed the street, and plaintiff was given into custody by the defendant, who said she had annoyed him. She was taken to the station-house in Little Albany-street. The defendant walked with them and said he would give her a night of the station-house. When there he said if plaintiff would beg his pardon he would not press the charge ; but she refused, because she had not an noyed him. When she was locked up the defendant said, Never mind, Jane, it won't be long; I will get you bail my self." Witness went and obtained hail, and got her out about twelve o'clock. Mr. Pennyfather did not appear at the Police-office, and plaintiff was discharged. Cross-examined by Mr. PLATT—Plaintiff did not keep a shop, nor was witness aware of any private fortune she en joyed. She then lived in lodgings, but received no visitors. Witness got her living by working at lace-work for a factory in Nottingham, and resided with her friends. Mr. Penny- CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS I)AY.) OLD COURT. (Before the RECORDER and Alderman LAINSON. ) MARE STEALING.—James Holt, 21. described in the calen der as a groom, was indicted for stealing a mare, value 251, the property of Thomas Heath, at Wimbledon, Surrey. The possession of the mare, by the prisoner, was clearly proved. The prisoner's Counsel (Mr. BODKIN), submitted on his behalf, that the prisoner had no intention of stealing the mare, but intended to restore her to a person whom he considered to be her owner. Several witnesses were called to character. The RECORDER, in summing up, conveNed a doubt if the animal might not have strayed from the field in which she was kept. The prisoner had affixed a bridle to the mare in the presence of two persons, saying ,hat he was going to take it to the owner ; but on the 9th of November it appeared that he had sold or exchanged it.—Verdict, Not Guily. Mr. CLARKSON applied for permission to Wm. Cheesman, a young man, who was charged with stealing snme silk, the property of his master, a draper, to retract his pl ea o f G u ilty, and to put in one of Not Guilty. The Learned Counsel said the obj..et of the application was to afford an opportunity to the prosecutor to recommend prisoner to mercy, he having resroren all the - proper-y. The application was granted. the recommendation made, and several witnesses called to cha raet,r ; hut it appeared that he received 401. per annum salary, with board and lodging, and that the theft took place in the first week of his service. NEW COURT. John Tatum. a youth who has frequently appeared at the bar of this Court, was indicted for stealing a pared. consist in of cloth and articles of body linen, value 305., from the person of Emma Andrews. The prosecutrix deposed that she lives at No. 11, Carlisle place, Marsh-gate. On the evening of the 11th instant she was in Bridge-street, Blackfriars, when the prisoner put his hand over her shoulder and snßtched the parcel from under her arm. She pursued him, and he was taken with the pro petty in his possession. Thomas Medhurst, an officer belonging to the Bridewell pr ciect , confirmed the testimony of the witness, and produced 'he property. The prisoner denied that he took the parcel, but he ad mitted that it was taken from him. The Jury instantly found him Guilty. The COMMON SERGEANT told the prisoner that he had been before convicted, and in Bridewell over and over again. He must now leave the country. The sentence was, that he be tran,ported beyond the seas for the term of ten years. Thomas Carroll was indicted fur embezzling the sum of 31. 9s. on the 11th of July, and on the same day the further sum of 31. 10s. 11d, the property of Thomas Negus his em ploy-r. The prisoner pleaded guilty. The COMMON SERGEANT told the prisoner that the sums he had secreted were not of small amount. The judgment of the Court was, that he be imprisoned in the House of Correction, and kept to hard labour for the space of six calendar months. John Thompson, aged 20, was indicted for stealing on the 9th instant, 45 yards of woollen cloth, •alue 8/., the property of Mr. Thomas Earley, of Hounsditch. Mr. PutLurs defended the prisoner. Tue property was found in his possession, directly after the robbery. The Jury had no alternative but to find him guilty. The prisoner said his late employer would appear to give him a good character. Mr. PHILLIPS prayed that the judgment might be respited until to morrow, which was ordered. R. Fowler and Geo. Heath, (a marine), were indicted for stealing a watch and gold appendages, the property of W. Weaver, from his person. It appeared that the prosecutor quarrelled at a public-house at Woolwich, which ended in a fight, and the prisoner Fow ler acted as his second. During the " set-to" the robbery was committed. Fowler cross-examined the prosecutor at great length, but his original testimony was not shaken. A female with whom Heath slept on the night of the rob bery, proved that he gave her a seal and key to pledge for him, but instead of doing so she gave the articles to the watchman ; they were owned by Weaver. A constable proved that he found the duplicate upon Con. nor, (a person not in custody), which related to the watch. The COMMON SERGEANT summed up the evidence, and the Jury declared them both Not Guilty, to the evident surprise of many persons present. The prisoners were both well-known characters. UNION HALL.-(THIS DAY.) THE LATE ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE THE DUKE OF NORMANDY. Desires Roussel!. the person charged with the above offence, was brought up for re-examination. Charles Louis (the Duke) deposed—l have been living at Camberwell for the last four or five months. The prisoner cu to me to ,sk relief on the previous Wednesd a y. H e 'r'e had never called on me at the house in Clarence-place. He never saw me, to my knowledge, but the first time when he ca.ne to ask assistance from me. I have not seen him from that time until the present, unless he was the person waom I saw in the garden. The person whom I saw in the garden had the person, but not the features, of the prisoner. The eyes of that person were protruding and ferocious, and staring like a dog. From the agitation which followed the act, I had not the opportunity to sneak positively as to the identity of the person who committed I had gone from the water-closet about three steps towards the house when he came near to me. 1 had the light in the left hand, and looked to see if it was one of my friends. I had heard a footstep previously. When I looked I saw two pistols in his hand. The person was coming as if t owar d s the water-closet ; I thought so from his step. Nothing was said before the pisto's were fired I saw th e pistols, and at th e same moment he shot me. I turned a little, and fell directly, thinking I had been cut in two parts, so strong was the con cussion. I cried out " Delabar." The person was flying directly across the garden, towards th e di tch. The evening was very foggy and dark. The evidence given was then read over and explained to the prisoner, who was told that he was at lib erty to ask any question, or make any statement. He merely denied bein t he person, and declined putting any questions. g Witness, in continuation, said—About six weeks before this occurrence I had noticed sotne person in the garden. I was near the water-closet, about half past e i g h t, when I saw the person. On going into the house I told my friends what I had seen. I considered it was some one who had come to sweetheart my servant, I had no opportunity of seeing his person. A letter was then produced, which th e p r i soner d en i e d to have bees written by him. Mary Ann Brook, of No. 9, Holland-place, North Brixton, deposed —The prisoner came to my house about the second week in August, and wished much to see the Duke of Nor mandy ; Charles Louis had lived at my house. The prisoner came three times, but I only saw him once. He brought a letter, and said he was very anxious to see the Duke of Nor mandy. I said if he had any letter to leave I should see some one belonging to the Duke in a few days, and would send it to him. He asked where he lived, and where he could see him. I said I could not tell him. 1-1, left the letter, and said it contained a passport. The letter was deltvered by me to my sister. _ . The prisoner declared that he was in Ireland in August, and that he did nor know the last witness. Esther Bir&i, the sister of the last witness, said that the letter given to her she delivered to Mr. Delahar. The pri soner came twice for an answer to the letter. The first time he came I said it had not been returned and he said there erg papers of cons , quence in it. I believe that was the day after he had left the letter. I told him the papers were perfect) v safe ; and that if he came the following day he should have the answer. He said that it contained his passport. I received a letter from Mr. Delabar, with inclo sures, but I don't know of what they consisted. The second time the prisoner came, I gave him the letter and said. " The answer is, the Prince is in the couistry and and cannot be com municated with, and Mr. Delabar says you must not send any further letters." He then said, " When will he return ?" and I said, " I don't know." I have not the slightest doubt he is the same perton, and that he had the same coat on that he now wears. The medical attendant of the Duke here suggested that it would be better if he retired in order that he might not endure too much fati:!ue. The suggestion was acted upon, Mr. I-remy stating that he would be informed, if it should be neces sary to attend Mr. Delabar stated that he received the letter from one of the li-dies, and r,turned the pass:ort in an envelope. He did not know the prisoner then. Tile letter, which was here read, stated the writer to be a. native of Switzerland, and solicited the charitable a-sistance of the Duke. The prisoner said he was not the author of the letter. Frederick Garrett, of Camberwell-gre,n, deposed that the prisoner called on him and asked if there was not a French Prince living near. Witness pointed out the house op posite. This was on the Wednesday or Thursday. The prisoner said he came from Normandy, was a French refugee, and had been a Captain. lie did not appe,r to be satisfied that it was the Duke of Normandy who lived oppo site. and witness referred him to the Post-office. Witness noticed that there was a button off the prisoner's coat behind. lie was here directed to move round, and his coat exhibited the appearance just described. Sophia Upton deposed—l live with the Duke as cook, at Camberwell-green. I have seen the prisoner four times. When he came the first time the footman brought him into the kitchen. He dined there. That was on the Tuesday. On Wednesday and Thursday he also came. On the Friday ho came again about a quarter before seven in the even ing. He left about half-past seven, as soon as he had had his dinner. He came again on Saturday evening, about the same• time, and was apprehended by the police. On the Friday night the Duke went out soon after he had dined and the prisoner went out about a quarter of an hour after wards. The prisoner said that he lived in Greenwich. He wished to sleep in the house, but I said there was not room. The examination was still proceeding when our reporter left. The prisoner, it is expected, will be ag,iin remanded. HATTON-GARDEN.-(THIS DAY.) CAUTION TO CARTERS.—A man name William Seale, in the employment of Mr. Walker, of Fulham, was fined in the sum of 51. or in default of payment committed to prison for a term not exceeding six months, for driving a waggon laden with filth and offensive rubbish, through the public streets, this morning. By the wording of the Act under which he was convicted, " the driver, or person who causes such to be driven," arc equally liable to the penalty. Joseph Martin, the driver and proprietor of a cab, was summoned by Mr. Woodhouse, an operative chemist, residing in Bedford-place, for having charged him more than the legal fare. The parties had been here on a previous summons, when they determined to have the distance, which Mr. Wood house was taken by the defendant, measured. Hall, an officer of this establishment, surveyed the ground, and found it to measure less by 45 yards than two miles, the distance charged for. The penalty imposed by the Act is any sum under 40s. ; and at the request of the complainant it was mitigated to Si., which with costs amounts to 17s, 6d. LITERATURE. 110 W TO LEARN ALANGUAGE IN SIX MONTHS. A New Method of Learning to Read, Write, and Speak a Language in Six Months. Adapted to the German : For the Use of Schools and Private Teachers. By H. G. OLLENDI,RFF, Professor of the German Language and Literature, Author of " La Diclinaison Aliewande Deter mince. London: Whittaker and Co., Ave Maria-lane; and Duku and Co., Soho-square. 1838. Mr. 011endorff, whose skill in the art of teaching was favourably noticed lately by Captain Basil Hall, has pub lished a German Grammar, - in-vrhich he lays down and il lustrates by exercises a new method of learning to read, write, and speak German, or any oilier language, in six months. This is good news, "if trill.," as the American Journalists say ; but, no doubt, it will appear untrue to many, and particularly to our learned Proress,rs of the Greek and Latin languages, who fur ten or twelve years hammer Greek and Latin into the rising generation, and at the end of that period cannot produce more than ten good scholars out of a hundred. If true. the rapidity of the railroad is nothing compared with the rapidity of this royal road for the acquisition of languages. We cannot speak from personal experience as to tho results of this method in teaching German, fa- any knowledge we have of that language was acquired under the old jog-trot sys tem ; but on examining the grammar, and judging from the principle on which the method is founded, we are con vinced it must afford great facility in acquiring speedily a general knowledge of the language sufficient for most pur poses of lite. No foreign language is acquired so quickly in any country as in that in which it is spoken. There every one the learner meets performs the duty of schoolmaster ; he must speak or be dumb, and even when dumb he is learning, by hei.ring the same word or phrase often repeated he repeats it himself by instinct, and, like the infant, inhales the language with the air he breathes. For this best of all schools Mr. 011endorff's plan is an excellent substitute. He begins with the simplest words and the simplest ques tions, to which the scholar as to make similar replies, the same verb and the same tense being used, and only the nouns and pronouns varied, throughout several lessons. " My system," he says, " of acquiring— " A living language is founded on the principle, that each question contains nearly the answer which one ought or which one wishes to make it. The slight difference between the question and the answer is always explained before the ques tion : so that the learner does not find it in the least difficult, either to answer it, or to make similar questions for himself. Again, the question being the same as the answer, as soon as the master pronounces it, it. strikes the pupil's ear, and is there fore easily reproduced by his speaking organs. This principle is so evident, that it is impossible to open the book without being struck by it. "'Neither the professor nor his pupils lose an instant of their time. When the professor reads the lesson the pupil answers; when he examines the lesson written by the pupil, he speaks again and the pupil answers ; also when he examines the ex ercise which the pupil has translated, he speaks and the pupil aliswers : thus both are, as it were. conti►,ually kept in ex ercise." The last four words, in fact, explain the whole secret " Pupils," he says elsewhere, " desirous of making rapid progress, may compose many phrases in addition to those given by the masters, but they must pronounce them aloud, as they write them." The French explain the system in two words, parlez toujours. M. 011endorff proceeds from this simple beginning to sentences more complex and idio matic, and in one hundred and five lessons, and 249 exer cises, contained in about 600 pages, exhibits almost every possible peculiarity of the German language. These 600 pages, however, are frightful to behold. An octavo in in small print, nearly as larg.. as the Bible, in the shape of a Grammar, " for the use of schools and private teachers,' must be an appalling sight to any but a German student, and we would therefore advise Mr. 011endorff to transform it into something like an English shape. He forgets that he is a German, he forgets also one of the great arts in teaching, to make the task as inviting as possible, and to hold out sonny briAt prospect through the dull and dreary path, %Mich every boy travels in learning- a Grammar. We appr.ve plan, but he encumbers it with end less cletaik Yesterday an inquest was held at the Middlesex H•ispital, on the body of William Bourne, a fine young man. aged nineteen. It appeared from the evidence that the deceased rr-sided with his parents, who are muffin bakers, residing. at No. 13, Rupert-street, Haymarket. He was of remarkably quiet and steady manners. On Mon day, the 12th instant, he had been some time at a public house in George-street, Ruprrt-street. About. five o'clock his mother fetched him home to tea, and he then asked -her to give hint one shilling, as his na was all gone, hut she refus d, desiring him to stop in doors. He then went up stairs, arid shortly alter hearing a heavy fall in the street, she looked out, and saw her son without his coat on lying in the road, within one foot of the curb-stone. She raised an alarm, when he was conveyed in doors, and from thence to this institution, where it was found that his right thigh was broken, his skull fractured, and that he had sustained other severe injuries. He never rallied, and lin gered up to Friday night, when he died, before which he never accounted for the accident. His coat was subse quently found on the parapet of the house, but there was no reason to suppose he had thrown himself off. Verdict— '. Accidental Death." On Saturday morning a fire, supposed to have been the work of an incendiary, broke out in Mr. John Furni val's tannery, Mersey -street, Warrington, which destroyed property of about 8,000/. value. -• T MARKETS.-(THIS DAY•) CITY FISH MARKET.
